Chapter 146: Longtan Mountaintop

Both of them felt puzzled, only Mu Han knew that this was Jiang Lingchuan's plan.

Those people were indeed Mu Nanfeng's men, but the orders they received were forged by Jiang Lingchuan.

The team continued and set off in a mighty procession, finally reaching the top of Longtan Mountain before noon.

There is a large flat area on the top of the mountain, with a house built in the shape of a tower in the middle.

There were soldiers guarding all around. The road up the mountain was very wide and the road was swept very clean.

When everyone reached the top of the hill, the master of ceremonies shouted, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Prince Shu, please enter the inner hall. All ministers should stand behind you."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Nanny Chang, who immediately stepped back, pulled He Yue aside, and followed the Empress Dowager from a distance.

Mu Han, the Queen Mother, and Prince Shu bowed and burned incense in front of a large tablet.

The ministers knelt on the ground in the back. The hall was very empty. Apart from the statue and tablet in the middle, there were only a few pillars everywhere.

After Mu Han and the other three finished offering incense, Mu Nanfeng knelt before the tablet and said, "Ancestor, I, the unfilial descendant Mu Nanfeng, would like to ask you to bear witness today that she, Pei, murdered the late emperor, forced Your Majesty to seize power, and condoned her relatives to murder innocent people. I, Mu Nanfeng, will eliminate the treacherous queen and evil ministers for the future of our Great Yu Kingdom."

First, Prime Minister Pei stood up angrily and pointed at Mu Nanfeng, "Prince Shu, what do you mean by this? What evidence do you have to prove that the late emperor was murdered by the Queen Mother? Your Majesty is here, so how can you force him? And the talk of killing innocent people is nonsense."

Mu Nanfeng sneered, "You want evidence? Okay, come here, bring the evidence."

Two guards brought Heng Lu's godson Heng Chang to the front of everyone. All the ministers knew him.

This immediately caused a discussion. Mu Nanfeng looked at Pei Xiang with a smile and said, "Pei Xiang must be very familiar with him!"

Mu Nanfeng smiled again and turned to look at Henglu beside Mu Nan. "Or the Evergrande manager can talk to him."

Henglu felt so distressed when he saw Hengchang covered in wounds.

But Heng Lu had been through many ups and downs, so he smiled calmly and bowed to Mu Nanfeng. "Prince Shu, are you arresting people arbitrarily and forcing them to confess? Who are you trying to slander?"

Mu Nanfeng snorted coldly, and Hong Shan immediately took out a pile of letters and keepsakes, and threw a doctor from the Imperial Hospital in front of Heng Lu.

When Henglu saw the evidence on the ground, he immediately panicked and turned to look at Empress Dowager Pei.

Empress Dowager Pei looked at Mu Nanfeng calmly and smiled, "Prince Shu, I know you've always thought you were better than Mu Han. You wanted to be emperor, but the late emperor only loved Mu Han and never looked you in the eye. Even your mother didn't like you very much. You've endured it for so many years, and now you don't want to endure it anymore?"

Mu Nanfeng laughed heartily. "The Queen Mother is truly not an ordinary person. Her calm attitude is as great as her ability to lie."

Empress Dowager Pei smiled and said, "Back then, your mother and Empress Huixian became pregnant at about the same time, but Empress Huixian was more favored. Your mother always complained to me, but later I just said that if the Empress died, who would raise the Crown Prince? Wouldn't that be the Empress? It was your mother's vicious heart that killed Empress Huixian."

Speaking of the past, when Mu Nanfeng first came here, he was always tied to the original owner's emotions. It took him so long to get rid of that feeling after so many years.

Hearing what Queen Mother Pei said, that feeling reappeared. Mu Nanfeng glared at Queen Mother Pei uncontrollably. "You're talking nonsense. It's obviously you who wanted to be the queen, so you killed the former queen and then my mother."

Queen Mother Pei sneered, "Yes, I wanted to be the queen, but it was your mother who ruined it. It was your mother who made it so that I could never be a mother, and she must pay the price."

Mu Nanfeng felt even more distressed and shouted, "No, it's impossible. It's obviously you. You poisoned the late queen before and now you're poisoning my father. You deserve to die."

Empress Dowager Pei also raised her voice and said, "It is your mother who deserves death. It is you. Your mother bribed the late empress's wet nurse to poison her in order to gain the late emperor's favor, and she was already weak and could not be saved. Now, in order to become emperor, you have colluded with the people of Beihan to secretly mine iron ore and manufacture weapons. In order to avoid being exposed, you have condoned your men to destroy the village and even blamed my family for the blame."

At this time, Pei Lan was holding a plate of old clothes, tokens, and several torn letters.

Mu Nanfeng looked at the things in front of him with a look of disbelief, "Impossible, this is not true, you forged these things just to slander me and my mother."

Empress Dowager Pei pointed at the clothes and said, "This is your mother's clothes. When she went to visit the late queen, she secretly smeared poison on the clothes. Seeing her panic, I became suspicious. After searching her, I found this. This token is the evidence of your dealings with the Northern Han Kingdom."

Mu Han watched the whole process from the side, but felt sad when he heard that it was Mu Nanfeng's mother who poisoned him.

Mu Nanfeng kept shaking his head, "Impossible, this is impossible..."

He suddenly rushed forward and tried to snatch the clothes and token, but was stopped by the guards.

Empress Dowager Pei said sternly, "The facts are before our eyes, you can't help but believe it! Mu Nanfeng, you and your mother are both sinners!"

Mu Han watched all this with mixed feelings. He originally had no ambition for the throne. When he was little, he had truly considered Mu Nanfeng a brother and was very close to her mother. He had never even doubted her.

Immediately, Mu Han felt confused again, because he had clearly seen with his own eyes that it was Pei who killed his mother.

Mu Han was full of doubts, not knowing whether what she said was true or false. No matter what, he just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

Mu Nanfeng took a deep breath and said calmly, "The Queen Mother still likes to confuse people as always. Today, I will avenge my father."

As soon as Mu Nanfeng finished speaking, many guards wearing silver-white armor and holding long swords ran in from outside the hall and surrounded everyone.

Some timid people who did not stand on Mu Nanfeng's side were frightened and panicked.

As soon as Mu Nanfeng's men stood still, Empress Dowager Pei also looked at Nanny Chang. Nanny Chang understood and clapped her hands.

Immediately, many guards holding spears and wearing purple-black armor surrounded Mu Nanfeng's men.

Mu Nanfeng was about to order his men to take action when Empress Dowager Pei waved her hand and Nanny Chang grabbed He Yue, whose hands were tied, and walked to Empress Dowager Pei.

Queen Mother Pei looked at Mu Nanfeng and smiled and said, "Does Prince Shu know her?"

He Yue's head was lifted up. Mu Nanfeng took a closer look and asked in surprise, "Yue'er, why are you here?"

Then he pointed at Queen Mother Pei and said, "Pei, let her go."

Mu Han on the other side heard Mu Nanfeng calling Yue'er, and he realized that it was really He Yue.

Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Lingchuan slipped in from behind and grabbed him. "What are you going to do? Do you know that palace maid? You don't want to save her, do you?"
